We are all so excited that Tiff got in last night safe and soundly. We are excited about a weekend, hopefully at home, where we can all spend lots of time together.
But, as you can guess, that means...
We aren't making the trip to Michigan this weekend. Jack is actually still in the hospital, as they can't quite figure out how to keep his pain under control for an extended period of time. Anytime they try a pain medication, it seems to work for a little while, but then stop.
Last night, the pain got bad enough that they took him in for another CT scan. I will update later on any new findings...
The good news is that he is down to less than 10 radiation treatments left! Here is a cute pic taken as we hit the 10 milestone on Wednesday.
The hope is for Jack to come home today or tomorrow, so we can all hang out, watch football, cook great food, and be able to enjoy it knowing Jack is feeling better.
Oh, and the physical, occupational and speech therapists all came to assess Jack during his stay this week, and the consensus is that after treatments are over and he is feeling better, he will benefit SO MUCH from inpatient or outpatient rehab at CHOA. We all were excited for them to see him, and all be very confident he'll make tons of progress after treatments. Oh - and they gave us a few ideas of things we can do at home to help in the meantime!
More to come soon - keep the prayers coming!!
April
